Australian actor Ryan Corr has been caught up in a drug scandal.
The ‘Packed To The Rafters’ star has been charged with possessing a prohibited drug after he was allegedly caught smoking the substance in a Bondi laneway back in May.
The 25-year-old was caught in Castlefield Lane at 1:10pm on Tuesday May 27, and was apprehended by police, Fairfax reports. An officer allegedly found a freezer bag full of heroin powder on him.
Corr was due to appear in court yesterday, a member of Waverley Local Court confirmed to news.com.au but he didn’t appear as he was out of the country. His solicitor appeared for him. The matter was adjourned to September 2.
Corr, who recently starred in Channel Nine’s drama ‘Love Child’, departed for Manchester a week after the Bondi incident, where he will stay for three months while filming BBC series ‘Banished’. Corr is also set to star in upcoming film ‘The Water Diviner’ alongside Russell Crowe and featured in Nine’s ‘Underbelly: The Golden Mile’ in 2010.
